Nothing happened in the first inning except for this defensive play by Taylor Ward.
Samuel Aldegheri had his troubles in the second inning. Go figure! I thought that was mandatory. He walked in a run for the Astros. Yordan Alvarez then hit a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0 Houston. In the bottom of the next inning, Kyle Tucker singled and Alex Bregman homered to make it 4-0 Astros. In the third inning, the Angels got Adams to first and second on a walk and a steal. Jack Lopez also walked. A Taylor Ward Groundout advanced both runners by one base. A Zach Neto groundout scored Jordyn Adams. 4-1 Astros.
Nolan Schanuel singled to score Jack Lopez.4-2 Astros.
No more scoring happened until the Angels part of the Angels part of the fourth inning. Mickey Moniak made it 4-3 Astros with this jack.
Now we had a really lengthy stretch of no scoring or other cool stuff. Suarez allowed no runs over four innings. I apologize for some of the things I said about him.
In the ninth inning Yordan Alvarez hit a homer off of Brock Burke to make it 5-3 Astros. Yainer Diaz then doubled. After Diaz had made it to third, the Angels intentionally walked Alex Bregman. With men on first and third with two outs, the Astros could not score another run.
In the bottom of the ninth inning, Nolan Schanuel popped out to center to bring up Charles Le Blanc, who struck out. Logan O’Hoppe came in to pinch hit. He struck out swinging. The Angels lost 5-3.
